Oh you guys, I'm such a transgressive grits eater.?? I like mine sweet
like oatmeal.?? I add butter and sweetener and sometimes even some
cinnamon.?? I didn't realize until a few years ago that I was eating them
the quote wrong way quote.?? I didn't grow up in the deep south, but my
parents are from Southern Ohio and I'm from Southern IL and I lived in
Florida for a bit, so I'm not sure how I got started eating them that
way.?? It tastes really good, though.?? LOL

Love those grits!
I make garlic cheese grits. Which is exactly what it sounds like, ad the garlic
powder early but the butter and cheese when the grits are done. I will also
copy out a lovely grits casserole recipe if anybody is interested. I stole it
from an NFB cookbook. Never tried doing it in the microwave, so I can't say
anything about that.

Hi.
I too love grits. I make them on the stove but you can make them in the
microwave. I put one half cup of grits in a pan and add two cups of water. I
also add salt and pepper plus a generous amount of butter. I stir all of this
around until the grits absorb the water and the sound you hear from the cooking
changes.
But, I have also bought instant grits followed the directions and cooked them
in the microwave about thirty seconds or until the texture is right.
Of course you can make those grits patties probably by adding an egg, green
onions or however you make them. I have never done it and can only suspect you
add more butter and bake them in a greased pan or dish for a while until they
are done. I used to fry up corn meal mush which is similar. I don't know if
this helps but I agree that grits are essencial to happiness. We mix them with
scrambled eggs and find true food perfection.
Good luck and have fun

???Here's from one grits lover to another.
In short, how do you do it?
I haven't had grits in a long time.
I also love fried grit patties.
They're like grit hash browns.
If your tips and tricks for making grits aren't to tricky and can be done in
the toaster oven and or the microwave oven?
Please share.

I'm the same way. I'm glad this topic came up because while I make grits for
our breakfast fairly often I haven't had polenta in ages so I'll need to
correct that very soon. Since we're talking about corn. I have to say the corn
on the cob has been exceptionally yummy this summer. I love the stuff!

Oh, I love everything with corn; tortillas, pollenta etc.
One of my dreams/fantasies is to have a little angel on my shoulder so
we could just go aisle by aisle in the grocery store, and the little
angel would tell me everything that is there. (smile)

Hi,
No interest in polenta, otherwise known in the South as cornmeal mush. (smile)
I am really interested in the pasta. Happy to know gemelli is included. I'll be
looking for them. Thanks.

Hi Dianne:
So, I gave you a little misinformation. The pollenta we bought isn't
microwavable, however, there are three types of pasta you can microwave.
Rotini, elb ow mac, and/r gemmelly. Gimelly is like a twisty pasta. You only
microwave them for one minute. Hope this helps.
Sorry for the misinformation.

Linda,
I have had microwave rice in a pouch. I heard about pasta, but, didn't know
where to look for it. Is all that other stuff you mentioned in pouches like the
rice? Thanks.

There are so many things you can buy now that can be microwaved. You can buy
quinoa, rigatoni, instant rice, brown and white, basmadi and jasmine and even
pollenta. Amazing, especially on these hot days when you don't want to heat up
the house.

You could also use canned salmon instead of the tuna.
I didn't know you could do Mac and Cheese this way. I am one of
those people who thinks that the microwave is for reheating
leftovers and warming coffee.

My Husband's favorite: I invented this recipe because it uses stuff
I can stock up on and I can make it in a half-hour after a busy day
or before a busy evening.
For a change, try some of those flavored tuna in packets.
1 box Kraft macaroni and cheese
2 cups hot water
1/4 cup hot milk
?? cup butter
2 cans about 10 oz tuna packed in water
1 pkg highly flavored tuna (2-3 ounces optional)
1 can peas
1 can Pringles or equivalent amount of chips
Microwave the macaroni in 2 cups water in a greased, covered dish
for four minutes. Stir, turn and microwave another 4 minutes. DO NOT drain!
Stir in the sauce packet and hot milk. Stir in the optional butter,
preferably melted.
Add the drained tuna and stir. Add the drained peas and stir.
Crumble the chips in a zip-lock bag. Sprinkle on top and press down.
Microwave now uncovered, for 4 minutes.
Notes: If you use another brand of boxed mac and cheese such as
Cracker barrel, you may need to reduce the liquid, especially if
the sauce packet is gel and not powder.
